BEACH GARDENS PLANNING

Following my articles in the Gazette requiring specific answers to specific planning questions, from planning officers and elected representatives.

I have heard nothing whatseover from any District Councillor or Planning Official. So I for one will be staying at home on Thursday.

But the good news is that on one specific point I have - in writing - a letter from Councillor Steve Poultney of Swanage Town Council stating "There will be NO development on Beach Gardens. Never, ever, over my dead body".

Thank you Steve. If only all your colleagues were as forthright and as forthcoming as you, there would be fewer misunderstandings between the Council and the electorate.

But in view of your comment, I might be inclined to sleep with a shotgun beside the bed. Some people will go to any lengths...................................

Please add me in. Never understand why town council seems so covert. Our Town Hall news is so sporadic and residents are not kept well informed.
Just think how many years have lapsed since the old Grammar School was closed and the sold to Welfare Dwellings Trust. Just think through the chain of planning applications and appeals that have wasted so much time and money. Who really cares that this once splendid building is allowed to just rot away by neglect.
Can anyone remember a debate or even discussion taking place within the Town Council?
